Weber's bureaucratic theory emphasizes the need for what in an organization?

  1. A hierarchical structure of power

  2. A laissez-faire leadership style

  3. Strict economic incentives

  4. An emphasis on informal social gatherings

The correct answer is: A hierarchical structure of power

Weber's bureaucratic theory emphasizes the need for a hierarchical structure of power in an organization because it allows for clear lines of authority, efficient decision-making processes, and clearly defined roles and responsibilities within the organization. B and C are incorrect as they focus on leadership styles or economic incentives, which are not the main focus of the bureaucratic theory. D is also incorrect as it relates to informal social gatherings, which are not a key aspect of a bureaucracy. Therefore, A is the most appropriate and accurate answer.
